Photo TR: Summer O' Thrills

[CoasterPrince]

Never got around to posting my PTR's of my 2009 summer. Parks include...Cedar Point, Six Flags Great Adv., Morey's Piers, and Clementon Park. Pictures will do the talking. Enjoy.

Part 1-Arrival and Cedar Point

I'll start this PTR with a picture of what is believed to be a tornado. Pennsylvania is dangerous.

Finally here!

Exploring the hotel. Nice lobby if I do say so myself.

The next day was Cedar Point. The so called Coaster capital.

I can not lie. Mighty impressive skyline.

Way beyond expectation! Wicked Twister delevired.

Beautiful Entrance.

The crew.

Stuntman's Freefall?

Raptor was also way better than my last trip.

Not a Dragster fan but very unique ride.

Massive drop over midway.

First ride of the day. maXair!

Judging by my position in line, I'm not the only one who wanted to ride maXair first!

SO...MANY...COLORS!

maXair's queue does strange things to people.

Mega-Fan of the color scheme

Next ride, Wicked Twister.

Rear Spike is the reason I am alieve.

I see you Magnum..

I can finally ride a classic Chance flat. I miss you Chaos.

Moving on...

These people love them some WildCat.

Hey Mantis!

Line was uber long and broke down when I was in line. Moving on.

Artsy?

Why would someone ride this?!?

..because of tiny Intamin lapbars!

It's an ok coaster. For it's height and speed should be a lot better.

I <3 Moshpits!

Someone is having second thoughts!

Best part of the ride.

Wave of water is about to attack.

Best Coaster here.

I like MF from a distance.

Symmetrical my rear end.

Possibly the only shot of Maverick's train I have.

Extremly amazing flat ride. Skyhawk will own you.

...so will Snake Water Falls. Lots of water.

You'll get your turn.

The colors of our shirts match the colors of Wicked Twister!

Hey You.

Sure, I'm going to ride that!

Vintage station.

Hey island!

Gemini is a really good coaster.

So is Dragster.

Dragster.

Cool new sign. Too bad I won't ride til 2marrow.

"I'm ready to snap when you are."

Good airtime on this. Classic.

Making our way to the Buffet!

Akward.

Scared the crap out of me.

We actually went back to the hotel and came back later.

The crowds were still there however.

Gemini is epic-good.

Seriously.

I have nothing to say. Good attempt Cedar Fair. Whatever.

 

That's all for today. I'll be back 2marrow with Day 2-Soak City and more Cedar Point.

Fun pictures!

What month was this? It seems quite packed. I am going next year at the beginning of July and I really hope I get to go on all the major coasters atleast. How long were the lines approximately?

 

No Demon Drop for me next year...

[themeparkman25]

Ready to snap when you are

 

Haha, that was awesome! But it already snapped!

Looks like you had fun though, what other parks did you do this summer?

It was the first 3 days in August and it was quite packed. The only coasters we didn't ride were Wildcat, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon, and MeanStreak so you just have to plan right.

I live in New Jersey so my drive was 8 hours too. Brutal...somehow Cedar Point is worth it.

[Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess]

Lucky me, I get to go to CP by Airplane: The Ride.

 

I really want to be able to get in all the rides I want, so I am likely going to spread it out over 2 days, which means getting a 2 day pass.

 

Also was there alot of bugs at that time? Did you get a "bug in the face" on MF?

[CoasterPrince]

No. I was looking forward to the Cedar Point Death Bugs...but no they weren't there during my trip.

 

Day 2-Soak City and More Cedar Point!

Soak City here we come.

These banners are cool.

Raptor is a really good invert. Almost better than Alpengeist!

Not a fan of an interactive fountain.

Probably the only shot of Blue Streak I have.

Corkscrew corkscrewing.

Magnum did a good job running three trains.

Magnum should give Gasm some credit for the Coaster Wars!

You think the "best theme park in the world" would have the best water park..

not so.

45 Degrees!!

The underpass to a pure speed ride!

Dragster would be amazing with the Ka hump!

To past time in line I tried to take pictures of trains going 120 mph.

Drop Towers are my way of life.

MoshPit 2.

Front seat is the way to go.

Onwared to Mantis.

Actually not a bad ride. Whoever gets Chang (Green Lantern) next year is lucky!

Gum tree.

No trip to Cedar Point would be complete without rain.

Leaving. Small station.

Number 2 ride on Wicked Twister.

\

Why doesn't Jersey have beautiful sunsets like this??

Finally rode Magnum XL-200. I was looking for Canada on the lift but dropped before I could see it.

Kingda Ka is better without lights.

Night Ride on Maverick is the reason I'm here today!

Bye Cedar Point.

[Speeddeamon128]

Cool CP pics. I'm from NJ as well & I didn't think the drive was that bad.
